From the class skill lines in the WoW Forever game files (build 1.60.1.70707); talents are left out. Rank levels are cross-checked against the talentsforever.com spellbooks (CC BY 4.0) and Blizzard's deep dives; an orange ? means they disagree. Trainer costs aren't in the files. A few entries may not be trainable in the live game UNCONFIRMED. New players: see the Warrior guide and leveling speed tips.
